i was thinking of getting a dual sided powerflow exhaust (one exhaust per side).
any ideas on the cost of this?
would it look any good sitting under the standard corsa b bumper.
Cheers for any comments

oi john u git
i ha 5" either side of my corsa c, best thing to do is to get powerflow to cut it into your bumper a bit rather than having it sit below bit like this ....
\-------0--------------0----------/ <------ bumper
rather than this
\_____________________/ <----- bumper
............O..............O............
excuse the crap diagram
good luck mate

welcome mate, like i said i had cat back powerflow on corsa c sxi with twin 5" exits, dont own the car now though. Nothing wrong with powerflow, and i would always recommend RSR tyres in bromley, off j4 m25 their work is awesome, top blokes too. If ya want any other details let me know

fair point apart from the fact that if your getting a back bumper, you might as well get the whole kit and get the lot done at once to save some labour costs, then the price starts going through the roof. NOt everyone has lots of money mate. If the exhaust is cut into the bumper it still looks good, just ask John_C he saw my corsa with exhaust cut into bumper.

sorry mate, it cost me about 400 quid i think. As for going to Xtreme, i dont wanna create any bad impressions for them but i wouldnt get a powerflow done there.......... RSR in bromley are only an hour away from xtreme and the bloke who does them is a great bloke and his work is the best ive seen, and ive seen a lot of powerflow work.
Where do you live mate?

im in Clayhall, Ilford Essex.
i got quoted for a single tailpipe system 240 quid from xtreme, so what is the sort of price relation compared with that....ie if i were to get the system i want compared with that quote.

Id say your best bet is to give RSR a ring, tell them exactly what you want and that you want it cut into the bumper like the blue corsa C they did with twin 5" (my old one) GO to xtreme and get a quote on same system before you call rsr and tell rsr that xtreme quoted you that price, im damn sure they will beat it.
So, this is what you need to do.
1. Go to xtreme, get them to quote you on a system with twin 4" exits.
2 Phone RSR (0208 462 7747) tell them you want a system and xtreme quoted you £xxx and that you want it cut into bumper like the blue corsa C they did with twin 5" and can they beat xtremes price.
trust me mate, you wont be disappointed with RSR

cat back is simply replacing the exhaust you have on there from the catalytic converter back. this is what xtreme will have quoted you for a single exit.
Another shit diagram......

^...............^ ................^
CAT ........ EXHAUST......Tailpipe
they would replace everything to the right of the cat and leave the standard cat there
